Dr V went above and beyond to care for me even with other things that I needed
Nurse practioner and Docter were amazing. Explained everything in detail so I could understand my choices
Very pleased
NA, ANP, and MD excellent, spent time explaining things thoroughly. Included my spouse in the explanations. Appreciated bedside manner. RN printed out summary for our convenience, just seemed a little flustered? Not sure what it was...
Dr Vedantam was very thorough in his explanation of my needed surgery and plan.
Opportunity left open for further treatment or visits if desired. From the time of surgery through a year after, I felt that the teamwork, care, and treatment was better than I anticipated (and I expected the best).
Dr V is excellent, and staff around him are great. Made everything much easier to know we have such a great team of medical professionals.
I was grateful to get an appointment so soon, from an urgent referral from my primary M.D.. The staff was very attentive and helpful. I was very glad that Dr.V had an image of the MRI results so I could visualize he condition and how serious it is. He explained it and what would happen if we did the surgery on the worst part causing spinal stenosis, and that it would most likely cause more trouble if we didn't. He also answered my questions, which didn't go into detail re: recovery, risks of surgery, etc. I think he didn't want to scare me by going into detail, due to the seriousness of my case. I understand this, and believe he made a good call. I will get this info soon from him before I Make a final decision. I am pleased so far.
I highly recommend this spine clinic
This was was a virtual visit. Dr. Vandantam and his staff were prompt and professional.
Excellent doctor. I have complete trust in him. Very caring; very knowledgeable. His Nurse Practictioner is excellent too and they make a great team. When I had questions, I could email them and know I would get a prompt response.
Dr. Vedantam is an excellent doctor. He is very thorough, kind, patient, carrying doctor. He does an excellent job of explaining everything and is very honest about pain, long term goals, etc. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing neck/back surgery.
All went well.
Dr. V is a wonderful Dr. He fixed my back, and I am so grateful to him..
